re: Is Alabama college football program now second best to Clemson?

It's a bit early to declare Clemson the better program. Urban Meyer and Florida beat Saban a couple of times and we see where their program was a year or two later.

Saban opened his playbook after 2 decades but it's his rotating DCs that is hurting the program.

Dabo and Clemson have shown vulnerability in weak ACC play. I just think he knows how to attack the Bama defense much like Kirby Smart knows how.
